How do you prevent newly installed apps from going onto a new page?

[AC Question]

When I add new apps, a new page (right of the home page) is created. I would like the apps to go directly onto the home page.

With the information you provided, I have to guess you mean the app icons? If so, just press and hold the icon and drag it to whichever page you want.

Thank you, nahoku; yes, the app icons. Is there a way for them to automatically be placed on the home page if there is space available?

Also: I am using Lollipop on a tablet.

Normally, the app icon will show up on the page you happen to be on when you install the app. So, if you're on page 3, it'll go there. I don't believe there's a way to change it. Just make sure you're on your homepage before you install the app.

I am running Lollipop on an Insignia tablet, and there is only one page, my homepage. The page is not full; it has room for many more icons. When I download an app, though, an entirely new page is created with only one icon, the new app. Could this be Insignia-specific?

Sorry, I have no clue as I don't own your tablet. I thought the icon was just placing itself on the page you were on. I didn't know it was creating a new page. Strange behavior.

The only thing I can think of is delete the page after you move the icon. I know you already figured that out.
